Terry Scott is currently (2006) restoring Kayvee and notes: "The name Kayvee is short for her original owners name which was Kalamazoo Vegetable Parchment Company of Espanola, 1946, the name shortened to produce "Kayvee" when the vessel was ordered. The Kayvee ( proper spelling of Kayvee is one word as it appears on the registration paperwork, it's even shown wrong on the bows as 2 words Kay Vee when in reality is only one word "Kayvee")

Steve Briggs notes (May 2017): "Robert A. Cotton sent me a couple of undated photos of Kayvee taken by Ted Scarrow (now deceased) of Owen Sound. No location is noted. Last I heard she was owned by Terry Scott of Amherstburg (2007)."

Alert & Kayvee, c. 1997 while owned by Logs End, Inc.

Communique from Logs End, Feb. 14th, 2007: The Kayvee was sold last summer, (NB - Kayvee was sold to and refurbished by Terry Scott in 2006. She's now in the water again at Ahmerstburg, Ont.) the Alert is still located at the
Logs End Inc mill, in Bristol Mines, Québec. We're a company that pulls logs
from the bottom of the Ottawa River that sank during river drives. The logs
are then turned into flooring. From the page: http://www.logsend.com/boats.php In 1885, the ICO (Upper Ottawa Valley Improvement Company) was formed to sort and deliver logs, cut in the upper Ottawa Valley, to their owners' mills further downstream. With the last log drive taking place on the Ottawa River in early 1990, the ICO fleet was retired from service and sent to dry dock. In 1997, Logs End purchased five of the old boats, with the intention of restoring them to their original working condition, and sending them out yet again, to salvage logs that their forbearers had lost during log drives....The Kay Vee and the Alert have been relocated from Chenaux, Ontario to Bristol Mines, where their restoration is underway. Once fully refitted, it is out intent to use these two boats for guided tours of the Ottawa River waterways.
